Beta-adrenergic stimulation of calcium channels occurs by potentiation of high-activity gating modes.

cAMP-dependent phosphorylation clearly increases current through cardiac L-type Ca channels, but the molecular manifestation of this effect remains controversial. Previous work implicates either an increase in the number of functional channels or graded changes in the gating of individual channels. We now find that single cardiac Ca channels display three patterns of activity ("modes") and that isoproterenol or 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate redistributes the relative proportions of modes such that the two most active (mode 1, bursts of brief openings; mode 2, very long-lasting openings) are favored (P less than 0.05; n = 7). Conversely, a pattern of sparse brief openings (mode 0a) is selectively inhibited (P less than 0.01). Despite differences in the relative frequencies of the various modes before and during drug exposure, the gating within each mode is not detectably changed. We conclude that potentiation of highly active modes of Ca channel gating underlies the enhancement of calcium influx by beta-adrenergic stimulation.     

冷冻同种异体骨段移植修复股骨近段大块骨缺损

为观察大块冷冻同种异体骨移植后免疫功能的改变及预后,对13例恶性骨肿瘤瘤段切除后的骨缺损10.8～19.4cm(平均为14.6cm),分别采用冻冷异体松质骨段移植的髋关节加压融合术(6例)和异体股骨近段半关节移植成形术(7例)修复.10例分别于术前4天及术后14和28天检测其空腹外周血各项免疫学指标,以及术后3、6、9、12、24、48个月进行99mSPECT骨扫描(5例)和X-线片检查(12例),以观察宿主的免疫反应和异体骨愈合情况.结果:①外周血T淋巴细胞亚群(OKT3+,OKT4+,OKT8+)及血清补体(C3,C4)和循环免疫复合物(CiC)手术前后比较无显著性差异(P>0.05).②99mTe SPECT骨扫描显示:术后3～6个月移植的异体骨两端及髓腔内同位素浓集明显低于正常,而异体骨两端所对应的自体骨端同位素浓集明显高于正常,此现象于植入后9个月开始减弱,可达数年.X线片显示:异体骨愈合率为92.3%(12/13),2例移植的异体松质骨段于术后4～6年完全成活替代.以上可见:①冻冷异体骨段移植后宿主的全身免疫机能改变不明显,其反应是以局部炎症为主的细胞免疫过程;②异体骨可做为修复大块骨缺损的良好材料.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of a neurovirulent Zika virus isolated from Cambodia in 2019

The geographic range of Zika virus (ZIKV) has expanded from Asia to the Americas, leading to the 2015–2016 pandemic with enhanced neurovirulence. At present, ZIKV is continuously circulating in many Southeast Asian countries. Unfortunately, the persistent evolution of ZIKV in Southeast Asia and its influence on the biological characteristics of the virus remain incompletely understood. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo properties of a new ZIKV isolate obtained from Cambodia in 2019 (CAM/2019) were characterized and compared with those of the Cambodian strain (CAM/2010). Compared with CAM/2010, the CAM/2019 virus showed similar plaque morphology and growth curves in cell cultures and induced comparable viremia and organ viral loads profiles in both BALB/c and A129 (IFNAR1^−/−) mice upon intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation. Remarkably, the CAM/2019 virus exhibited enhanced neurovirulence in neonatal mice compared with CAM/2010, with a 74-fold reduction in the 50% lethal dose (LD₅₀). Consistently, CAM/2019 produced higher viral loads in the brains of BALB/c neonatal mice than CAM/2010 did. Sequence alignment showed that the CAM/2019 virus has acquired 12 amino acid substitutions, several of which were found to be associated with neurovirulence. In particular, the CAM/2019 virus shared an A1204T substitution in NS2A with the Thai isolate SI-BKK02 that was isolated from a microcephaly case. Taken together, our results indicate that a ZIKV strain isolated with specific mutations has emerged in Cambodia, highlighting the need for extensive molecular and disease surveillance in Cambodia and other Asian countries.     

The acceptance of SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen self-testing: A cross-sectional study in China

Compared with the nucleic acid amplification test (NATT), the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapid antigen self-testing (RAST) has advantages in speed and convenience. However, little is known about people's acceptance and influencing factors for SARS-CoV-2 RAST. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 21 to 30, 2022 in China. The χ² test and multivariate logistic regressions were used to identify the influencing factors. The structural equation model was used to test the extended protective motivation theory (PMT) model hypotheses. Among the total of 5107 participants, 62.5% were willing to accept the SARS-CoV-2 RAST. There were significant differences in acceptance among different residences (p < 0.001), educational level (p < 0.001), occupation (p < 0.001), monthly income (p < 0.001), travel frequency (p < 0.05), and feelings about NATT (p < 0.001). Response efficacy (β = 0.05; p = 0.025) and self-efficacy (β = 0.84; p < 0.001) had a positive effect, while response cost showed a negative effect (β = −0.07; p < 0.001). The public's major concerns about SARS-CoV-2 RAST are its reliability, testing method, price, and authority. Overall, a moderate intention to use SARS-CoV-2 RAST was found among the Chinese population. The extended PMT can be used for the prediction of intention to accept the RAST. We need to take measures to increase people's acceptance of SARS-CoV-2 RAST.
